Also, you are mixing 'SELECT *' with assumed column positions. This is IMO very bad style. either use explicit column list in your select statement or pull your data from the result using name instead of position. Also, use a compiler which tells you about uninitialized variables, don't top post, and avoid html emails when posting to public lists :-). merlin -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general
